6、1 (10/2007) i ITU-T Recommendation G.1040 Network contribution to transaction time Amendment 1 New Appendix I Network contribution to SIP set-up time Summary ITU-T Recommendation G.1040 defines a performance metric for typical data transactions, called the network contribution to transaction time (N
7、CTT). Session initiation protocol (SIP) produces data transactions that resemble a typical call signalling flow between an originating and terminating station, and sometimes several other entities located within the service providers network. Appendix I to ITU-T Recommendation G.1040 describes how N
8、CTT can be adapted for use with SIP session flows to estimate the network contribution to session set-up time. Source Amendment 1 to ITU-T Recommendation G.1040 (2006) was agreed on 11 October 2007 by ITU-T Study Group 12 (2005-2008). ii ITU-T Rec. G.1040 (2006)/Amd.1 (10/2007) FOREWORD The Internat
9、ional Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, opera
10、ting and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, pr
11、oduce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In t
12、his Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. in
13、teroperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest
14、 that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidenc
15、e, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may

19、 (SIP) packet exchanges are data transactions that resemble a typical call signalling flow between an originating and terminating station. Sometimes these exchanges include several other entities located within the service providers network. This appendix describes how NCTT calculations can be adapt

21、ers (PS) I.2 SIP set-up compared with a data transaction One-way packet transfers: A typical and generic data transaction is illustrated in Figure 2/G.1040, where a client is communicating with a host across one or more IP networks. The main difference between a SIP set-up transaction and Figure 2/G
22、.1040 is that the INVITE and other SIP messages proceed to their intended destination and the “desired reply“ cannot arrive until the INVITE (and its corresponding reply) has proceeded successfully to all devices in the signalling path. There may be some provisional responses conveyed, but these are
23、 not the “desired reply“ of Ringing or other state information. The figure above illustrates a SIP set-up between two user agents (UA) with two proxy servers (PS) in the signalling path. Links in the signalling path have different characteristics: The typical transaction in ITU-T Rec. G.1040 assumes
24、 point-to-point communication between client and host over a single stable path with the same delay and loss characteristics for every exchange of the transaction. SIP messages may use several different paths as they travel from user agent to proxy server, proxy to proxy, and proxy to another UA (pa
25、ths P1, P2, , P6 in Figure I.1). It is likely that both the average one-way delay and loss will be different on the path between each signalling entity. 2 ITU-T Rec. G.1040 (2006)/Amd.1 (10/2007) Time-out assessed at the originating agent: The UA that originates the INVITE waits to receive some defi
26、nitive reply, and then re-starts the entire set-up process by sending another INVITE. In the typical data transaction illustrated in Figure 3/G.1040, any exchanges completed prior to a time-out are effective in progressing the transaction. With SIP however, failure at some point in the set-up result
27、s in the progress of the INVITE being discounted, and the set-up must be attempted again from the start. Note however that the time for the set-up (contributed by the network) remains the sum of time-outs plus the time for the INVITE and reply to traverse the network. In other words, equations for N
28、CTT still hold for either case. Variable time-out with exponential back-off: We have assumed a constant time-out value (RTO) for our typical data transaction in ITU-T Rec. G.1040. SIP conforms to the IETFs mantra that all protocol designs be congestion-aware. The default initial time-out value is 50
29、0 ms, and this value is doubled on every successive attempt to set up a session. I.3 Revised equations for SIP set-up One approach to adapting the NCTT calculations for SIP is to treat the multiple link exchange as a single transaction. In the example UA-UA signalling path with two proxy servers as
30、shown above, the network contribution to the average loss-less set-up time would be: Average NCTTno loss= d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5 + d6 = RTT where d1 through d6 are the average delays for the six one-way paths. This is the same quantity as round-trip time (RTT) calculated in clause 4.3/G.1040. The ov
31、erall set-up loss probability can be calculated from the individual loss probabilities (p1, p2, , p6) for each path between signalling entities: ()()()()()()6151413121111 ppppppp = With the number of exchanges, E = 1, the Expected number of losses, L, reduces to: ()ppLE=1A weighted average time-out
32、can be computed by calculating the probabilities of L = 1, 2, 3, etc., and construct various ratios that result in different weights for each of the different time-out values. Several schemes to determine a set of weights have been examined. However, for any reasonably small value of p, such as p =
33、0.001, the weight of the default time-out is much larger than all others. Therefore, a good approximation is to use the default initial time-out value as the RTO under this condition. With all components now known, it is possible to calculate the average network contribution to SIP set-up time, as:

35、umed above, but it may be possible to use round-trip measurements of each path, as long as both directions of transmission follow the same path that the signalling packets will take. Packet size: Some SIP INVITEs may be large enough that they are fragmented at the IP layer. Measurement packet size s
